About this listen
Dezi Gianni is a very much a man used to getting what he wants. Tall, fine, and gorgeous; rich, powerful, and deadly, he’s just set his sights on the beautiful woman dining in the restaurant where he and his partner are having lunch.
Kayla DeWitt is the focus of Dezi’s affection. Beautiful, sexy, sophisticated, she’s searching for the ideal man to fill the emptiness left by her ex-boyfriend's betrayal. Her best friend Taea is convinced they’ll find compatibility with the two wealthy hustlers. Kayla is just hoping they don’t get killed.
Of course nothing is perfect, and without its pitfalls. Dezi finds himself in a constant battle keeping the true depth of his criminal activities secret from Kayla, as he seeks to keep her happy and unequivocally his.
Now Dezi’s empire is under siege by the FBI, another man has set his sights on Kayla and Dezi has had enough.

Story
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.

Story
It’s Valentine’s Day weekend, and Charlotte and Seth are not looking for romance. Armed with emotional-support bear spray, Charlotte is in self-imposed isolation and on guard from men. Having a stalker can do that to a person’s nerves. Just across the hall and giving off woodsy vibes is Seth, a recently divorced arborist. As in today recently. Heights, he’s fine with. Trust? Not so much.

Story
Meet Randi Burnett—she’s brilliant, she’s beautiful, and she works for the bride. Missing groom? Intoxicated in-laws? Crying ring-bearer? You name it, she wrangles it. Too bad her personal life isn’t thriving like her side gig as a bridesmaid for hire. Recently dumped, Randi throws herself into her biggest challenge yet when she’s hired as a maid of honor and pretend best friend for an ice queen bride. There’s just one problem—the best man is infuriating, overprotective, and anti-marriage.

Story
Beckett: If you’re reading this, well, you know the last-letter drill. You made it. I didn’t. Get off the guilt train, because I know if there was any chance you could have saved me, you would have. I need one thing from you: get out of the army and get to Telluride. My little sister Ella’s raising the twins alone. She’s too independent and won’t accept help easily, but she has lost our grandmother, our parents, and now me. It’s too much for anyone to endure. And here’s the kicker: there’s something else you don’t know that’s tearing her family apart.

I was rooting for the other couple too. He was bat sh*t crazy. But she didn’t know nothing happened between them. It was fun until it wasn’t. I enjoyed the story and the way it flowed. I feel it was well paced, no unnecessary backstory. The narrator was perfect
